MORE CHAPLAINS NEEDED IN NAVY Only Twenty-Four Are Now Allotted to 33,000 Men in Service. NO INCREASE IN 67 YEARS Seamen’s Friend Society is at Head of Reform Movement. WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.A movement to procure a more adequate staff of chaplains for the navy has been started. To the new Administration and Congress this demand will be presented by the American Seamen’s Friend Society, which has been pressing action to place the American Navy on an equal footing with that of every other nation in this respect for several years. Scores of other national, religious, civic and philanthropic organizations can be counted upon to join them in vigorous efforts to this end, officers of the society declared. The leaders in this movement believe that more than the usual attention will be paid in the new year to this matter of providing American tars with religious service in life as well as at death. They declare that the records show that one single chaplain has been added to the naval service...

Would Keep Out Japanese. By United Press. San Francisco. Jan. 22. Many advocates of the anti-Japanese bills, heretofore silent, rushed into print today to arouse the people of California in favor of the bills. The Asiatic Exclusion League sent a fiery letter to Gov. Gillette, urging him to pay no need to the President and to permit no Federal interference in behalf of the Japanese.

The Navy is putting out a special call for chaplains, with only 24 in that branch of the armed services now; a New York newspaper committee is fighting for “a clean press;” and the subscription to the University Missourian is $2 for the school term, $1.25 for a semester…these were some of the things which made The Missourian’s back page 60 years ago.

Fifty-nine years ago in the May 21, 1909 issue of the University Missourian, Columbians read that a fast driving student was charged $40 and Columbia grocers didn't fare too well in the State Food Commissioner's inspection and Tigers trounced the Jayhawkers 11 to 2 in a baseball game.

Columbia Grocers Almost 'Flunked' Poor Grades Made in Test Given by State Food Commissioner. LACK OF CLEANLINESS But Owners of Stores Say Conditions Will Be Improved at Once. Some of the grocery stores of Columbia almost flunked in the inspection made by the state food and drug commissioner recently. In the matter of cleanliness the stores made less than half of a perfect standard. From other standpoints the stores average a little more than half of a perfect grade. One store shows a good mark-but only one. F. L. Austin, secretary to the state food and drug commissioner, and A. H. Douglass, deputy commissioner and an analyst in this district, completed a grading inspection yesterday of the grocery stores of Columbia. They grade on a basis of 100, allowing ten for a perfect feet score in each of ten points. Their cards show this average score of the stores on those ten points: Ventilation and light, 6.4 points; floors, walls, fixtures (from the standpoint of sanitation), 4.5 points. ...

A COURSE IN BOOK-SELLING Students Are Rehearsing for Summer Campaign in Kansas. Training classes in book selling have been started at the University of Missouri by students planning to sell a popular book this summer. The prospective book peddlers are divided into squads and rehearsals are held two or three times a week in the room of Lester R. Ford, 509 South Sixth street. The details of book selling are carefully worked out from the moment the agent knocks at the door until he has advanced his strongest argument and “landed” the purchaser. When the course is finished the students will “strike” for Kansas, the Mecca of book sellers.

SLOPE ADORNED WITH FERNS Students Find Many on Hinkson Creek This Spring. Athletes who go to Hinkson creek for a swim, members of fishing parties and others have found many fine ferns this spring on the northern slopes of the Hinkson valley. There are great quantities of maiden hair, and the small species, while in places the Boston fern can be found. The damp weather has caused these plants to grow until they surpass many now found in the florists’ shops. The “Jack in the Pulpit” has started to bloom also and from the number of blossoms on the wild blackberry bushes the woods will be abundant with berries this summer.

The house was in darkness for an hour. Finally one of the students spliced the broken wire and study was resumed.
